Elemetal Egyptian Gods Series Silver Rounds from JM Bullion

One of the latest trends in the world of silver rounds is the use of Ancient Gods as the inspiration for extensive design releases. Various mints have turned to the gods of Norse mythology in the past year to release enthralling silver round collections. Now, there’s another new collection available with a source that comes from one of mankind’s oldest and best known civilizations.

The people of Ancient Egypt once ruled the world as the largest empire known to man, and their power was measured in terms of land and gold. The Egyptians had a belief system uniquely their own, with gods and goddesses assigned to certain events in a fashion that was not dissimilar to the Roman and Greek mythologies that would come about thousands of years later.

Today, the gods of Ancient Egypt make their return to the modern world on the obverse and reverse of an inspiring new collection of silver rounds. The Egyptian Gods Series Silver Rounds from Elemetal Mint are available today from JM Bullion, with exciting new releases still to come. Read on to learn more about the mint, the series, and the designs used to date.

Background on Elemetal Egyptian God Series Silver Rounds

The latest 2 oz Silver Round series released from the Elemetal Mint retains the high-relief striking, with an antique finish that has become a hallmark of the mint’s silver round programs. Each of the releases in this series features a high-relief striking. Mints will strike silver blanks under immense pressure, multiple times, to create high-relief products that help bring designs to life with 3D imagery that appears to leap off the surface of the round.

Egyptian Gods High Relief 2 oz Silver Rounds from Elemetal ship in protective plastic flips for individual rounds, or inside of Coinsafe tubes containing a roll of 10 rounds. Unlike the other 2 oz. Silver Rounds from Elemetal, these rounds each feature their own unique obverse and reverse designs with incuse engravings for an ancient look and appeal.

While the other popular silver round series from Elemetal Mint have shared, or common, reverse design elements, the Egyptian Gods Series is unique. Each of the rounds in this release not only has its own new obverse depiction, but features a matching reverse design that keeps the theme of each individual coin unique in appearance from the other issues in this collection.

Designs of the Elemetal Egyptian God Series Silver Rounds

The first silver round released in the Egyptian Gods Series, the 2 oz Elemetal Egyptian God Series Cleopatra Silver Round features the last pharaoh of Egypt during the Ptolemaic era. The Ptolemies were of Greek descent and ruled Egypt from the death of Alexander the Great in the Hellenistic Period to the conquering of the region by the Roman Empire.

On the obverse face of each 2 oz Elemetal Egyptian God Series Cleopatra Silver Round you’ll find the primary design of Cleopatra as she sits on a lounging chaise. Surrounding her image are countless ancient Egyptian symbols, including the cartouche of Cleopatra bearing her lineage name, the Eye of Horus, and a bowl of figs. It is believed that her servants smuggled in an asp snake in a bowl of figs, which she allowed to bite her and inject its poison as an act of suicide.

The reverse face of these silver rounds bears the image of Isis, the goddess Cleopatra claimed to be the reincarnation of in Egyptian society. She is seated in the center of the design and surrounded by hieroglyphs that were taken directly from ancient Egyptian papyri, as well as text found on the Temple of Horus.

The Egyptian God Series from the Elemetal Mint continues with an homage to the god Anubis. Known as the god of mummification and the afterlife, Anubis was the Greek language name for the god and was given during the period of Ptolemaic rule in Egypt.

Often depicted as a half-man, half-dog creature, Anubis appears on the obverse of the 2 oz. Elemetal Egyptian God Series Anubis Silver Round. He is depicted holding the scales of justice during the embalming ceremony of ancient Egyptians when the heart is weighed. In this ceremony, a newly deceased individual’s heart is weighed against a feather. If the feather is heavier, the individual moves on to the afterlife.

The reverse side of the Anubis Silver Round features the image of a jackal at rest atop a winged sun disc in front of a temple pyramid reflective of those built in and around the complex of pyramids built in Giza. The golden jackal was associated with Anubis and classified by early archaeologists as such, but was later reclassified through genetic testing as the African golden wolf.
